1 ChannelPlus H17XL Series 2 User Operating Instructions Single Channel 7 day Timeswitch The ChannelPlus family of electronic programmers offer a range of advanced features coupled with simplified menu driven programming all designed to help save energy. The Horstmann ChannelPlus H17XL series 2 is a single channel timeswitch allowing up to 3 On/Off settings per day for each day of the week. For day to day operation the H17XL has a manual 1 or 2 hour boost button as well as an advance button to bring forward the next programmed operation. The back lit display, automatic clock and menu driven programming are all features designed to make the operation of the ChannelPlus H17XL as simple as possible to use. All series 2 ChannelPlus programmers are direct replacements for earlier ChannelPlus models. 1

12 What is a programmer?... an explantion for householders. Programmers allow you to set On and Off time periods. Some models switch the central heating and domestic hot water on and off at the same time; while others allow the domestic hot water and heating to come on and go off at different times. Set the On and Off time periods to suit your own lifestyle. On some programmers you must also set whether you want the heating and hot water to run continuously, run under the chosen On and Off heating periods, or be permanently off. The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types have to be adjusted in Spring and Autumn at the changes between Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time. You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating programme, for example, Override, Advance or Boost. These are explained in the manufacturer s instructions. The heating will not work if the room thermostat has switched the heating off. And, if you have a hot-water cylinder, the water heating will not work if the cylinder thermostat detects that the hot water has reached the correct temperature. The above explanation also applies to your timeswitch, which operates as a single circuit programmer. sales@horstmann.co.uk Website: Horstmann Controls Limited, Bristol BS4 1UP 12 Leaflet number P82720 Issue 2
